Hi! Newly found this page today and looks like it has a lot of great info. My current score is 650 (equifax) and I am looking to replacing my aging trailblazer with a new leased vehicle (probably about $23,000??). My question, what kind of impact does that type of credit score have on a lease option? Maybe this isn't something that can be answered through here, but thought it might be a good place to try. I do have a couple of negative things on file, but they were all last year and lasted no more than one 30 day period for each (I think a total of 3 or 4 things that had a 30 day late marker on them). Otherwise, credit is going pretty smooth. Husband and I will be working to pay off ALL credit card debt by the end of this summer to help increase both our scores, though I'd really like to start a lease now. Do I wait until the end of the summer and see how far our scores have gone (and drop more $$ into the aging blazer that in the end I will be getting rid of) or try for a lease right now? I guess my big question is are leases harder to come by than auto loans?
Thanks!
